Megs 5" backing plate "WASHER"

**willowcat11** · 03-02-2016, 09:22 AM

I recently lost my washer for my Megs 5" backing plate. Does Megs sell just the washers by any chance. Or can I find an appropriate washer at any hardware store?

Thanks!

Lake Country Compression Washers 5-Pack

Possibly an auto parts store or one of the big home/hardware stores may have fiber washers.

Thanks a Ton Setec Astronomy!!! I like that they have a 5pk as well. Since I am new to DA Polishing, do these washers tend to wear out after time, needing them to eventually be replaced?

Thanks again and take care!

I don't think they wear out. Most of us have multiple backing plates and if we lose a washer we just move them around from plate to plate.

Head to your local hardware store and check out what they have in the plastic/fiber washer collection. The plumbing aisle should have a boat load of fiber washers. Just don't use a metal washer.
